POTS Line Replacement

Replace Your POTS Lines Before Carriers Pull the Plug

Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) lines are being phased out across the U.S. As carriers retire aging copper infrastructure and the FCC no longer requires them to maintain POTS, monthly rates are climbing, and support is shrinking.

If your business still relies on POTS for elevators, fire and burglar alarms, fax, point-of-sale (POS), ATMs, security systems, or medical alerts, you face:

+ Escalating monthly fees for each remaining POTS line
+ Service uncertainty as carriers quietly decommission copper
+ Compliance exposure for life-safety and emergency systems
+ Operational headaches managing multiple local carriers and invoices

FirstComm helps you modernize these critical lines without disrupting the services that depend on them.
